my second guess would’ve been 39, but then I thought that a guy who wrote scar tissue couldn’t have had that many.,
also, the rumours says that the reason for the new RHCP to suck this much ass is that anthony has lost his voice. Anyone has any info/comments on this=

Cool news about a fine new tribute album (from Pitchfork)
January 11th will see the release of Sunday Nights: The Songs of Junior Kimbrough, a new tribute to the revered Delta bluesman, via the Oxford, MS-based blues label Fat Possum. The record features 16 recordings of his songs– all previously unreleased– by Spiritualized, The Fiery Furnaces, Blues Explosion (with guitar work and production by Elliott Smith), The Black Keys, Mark Lanegan, and a revamped lineup of Iggy & The Stooges featuring legendary Minutemen member Mike Watt standing in for the band’s original bassist, Dave Alexander, who died of drug-related causes in 1975. Also of note is a duet between blues-folk singer/songwriter Entrance and Cat Power.
"Though the world doesn’t need another tribute record, it does need to know about Junior Kimbrough and this is an excellent start," reads a statement on the disc from Fat Possum founder Matthew Johnson, who also advises that listeners seek out other Kimbrough records the label has released. The release also includes hackneyed liner notes by Rolling Stone scribe Anthony DeCurtis, who humorously asserts that Kimbrough’s "mesmerizing, bone-chilling guitar lines, ageless and timeless, continue to make their way out in the world, leaving no one who has heard them at all the same." Tracklist:
01 Iggy & The Stooges: "You Better Run Version #1"
02 Spiritualized: "Sad Days Lonely Nights"
03 Blues Explosion: "Meet Me in the City"
04 Heartless Bastards: "Done Got Old"
05 The Black Keys: "My Mind Is Ramblin’"
06 Pete Yorn: "I Feel Good Again"
07 Entrance & Cat Power: "Do the Romp"
08 The Fiery Furnaces: "I’m Leaving"
09 Mark Lanegan: "All Night Long"
10 Thee Shams: "Release Me"
11 Jim White: "Done Got Old"
12 Outrageous Cherry: "Lord Have Mercy on Me"
13 Whitey Kurst: "Pull Your Clothes Off"
14 Jack Oblivion: "I’m in Love With You"
15 The Ponys: "Burn in Hell"
16 Iggy & The Stooges: "You Better Run Version #2"THE FLAMING LIPS have recorded their cover of THE WHITE STRIPES’ ‘SEVEN NATION ARMY’ and will release it next year.

Anders Parker
Tell It to the Dust
[Baryon; 2004]
Rating: 7.7
Tell It to the Dust– Anders Parker’s first solo album under his own name– begins around the same where it ends, with guitar epics that sprawl about and tug his traditional songwriting into new shapes and lengthy songs. This is not so surprising from the man who fronted both Space Needle and Varnaline– the former was a spacey rock trio with psychedelic leanings, the latter an earthier counterpart that emphasized alt-country-oriented songs. Tell It to the Dust (which is possibly named for John Fante’s Depression-era novel Ask the Dusk) follows Varnaline’s final bow, 2001’s Songs in a Northern Key, and mixes elements of both bands– especially in the songs that bookend the album.The record opens with its title track, which features the LP’s loveliest melody and catchiest chorus– both of which are sung in service to lyrics that communicate sober resignation: "I know it’s dust to dust/ I know it all will fade/ I know it’s built to rust/ and that it all will change." But the track’s straightforward accompaniment turns a corner on the coda, as Parker’s guitar wrings the drama out of his everyday observations. What began as personal becomes something immense and ascendant. Its counterpart, the closing "Doornail (Hat’s Off to Buster Keaton)", works a murky blues riff into a nearly eight-minute jam, but remains grounded and mired in the mud, creating a very different kind of drama as Parker sings about how "time won’t change a thing." Both songs inhabit the same emotional space, but the musical terrain is strikingly different.
The 10 songs between "Tell It to the Dust" and "Doornail" don’t reach the heights of those two, but they do reflect the tension between Parker’s restlessness and his need for strictly defined musical structures. Parker lets various instruments define different songs, which not only lends each track its own distinctive personality, but also gives the whole an added dynamic. "Feel the Same" fades out on a George Harrison guitar line, and "Into the Sun" rides a ponderous guitars riff that threatens psychedelia.
Kendall Meade’s piano and Joan Wasser’s violin make "Innocents" sound even more fragile, and kudos to Parker for using the words "sunbeam" and "moonbeam" unironically. If any song on Tell It to the Dust could have fallen flat, it’s this one, which is a warble away from Counting Crows/Five for Fighting schmaltz. Yet in the context of these hard-luck songs (especially followed by the reassurances of "Don’t Worry Honey, Everything’s Gonna Be Alright"), it succeeds as a tender ode to childhood and a lament over the hardships of adulthood.
Despite his warring urges for both making and breaking form, Parker doesn’t reinvent or even update the nearly dormant alt-country genre, but he does gently nudge it: Tell It to the Dust tweaks his sound just enough to make it sound not ambitious or innovative, but deeply personal, like something only he– and not Space Needle, Varnaline, or anyone else– could have recorded.
